The Park is approximately half way between Whyalla and Cowell. It consists of habitats varying from coastal sand dunes, samphire and mangroves through open woodland of mallee and western myall, native peach, native pines and even some sandalwood to areas of bluebush and saltbush, The area is rich in bird species, invertebrates, mammals and reptiles. The purpose of the Expedition is to conduct a biodiversity survey of the western part of the Park. This area was not covered in the 2002 Expedition to the Park. The Expedition will include an Adventure Phase of several days bushwalking for those who would like to participate. The Expedition will run from 9th April to 24th April 2004 and transport & food are provided.

  • VMR Venus Bay -SA DRAFT ONLY:-Notes for Coastal Cruising East Or West of Venus Bay SA
    VMR Venus Bay -SA DRAFT ONLY:-Notes for Coastal Cruising East or West of Venus Bay SA. In their past, VMR Venus Bay operators had spent many enjoyable days exploring the islands, shallow bays and flooded mangrove forests along parts of SA's Far West Coast and the following information is primarily intended for those who enjoy the delights of leisurely coastal cruising, and who are set up to explore some lesser known areas of interest on this part of the SA Coast. In it, we have highlighted the importance of understanding local weather patterns, listed some lesser known risks, included information on just some of the more sheltered anchorages and picked out some areas of interest (Note:- some of those may have less sheltered anchorages). Our document was prepared from various sources and with the kind assistance of experienced local seamen and trawler skippers. Communications when at sea:-For full detail, please also refer to separate VMR Venus Bay document titled "Venus Bay - Communications, Entry and Anchorage". A number of businesses and individuals along this coast undertake daylight hours monitoring of Marine VHF channel 16 and are willing to offer what assistance they can in an emergency situation, but at the date of writing, only VMR Venus Bay will offer specific 24/7 coverage and voyage tracking via a number of communication mediums, if that is agreed in advance. VHF radio AIS system and safety at sea:- VMR operators regularly monitor AIS vessel movements. If you have this system operating while underway, it is an invaluable tool and can save time in Emergency Services responses, should you run into unexpected problems.
